Sabrina Carpenter's Short 'N Sweet Tour stopped in Los Angeles on November 15, and she brought a big surprise with her. The pop star invited iconic singer Christina Aguilera onto the stage at Crypto. com Arena. Aguilera, dressed in a black bustier and silver boots, kicked off their duet with a powerful vocal riff from "Ain't No Other Man. " Carpenter joined her at center stage, and together they performed this hit and "What a Girl Wants. " This wasn't their first collaboration; Carpenter had recently been featured on a special remix of Aguilera's debut album, which just celebrated its 25th anniversary.

Carpenter has a special place for Aguilera in her heart. In a cheeky video shared on Instagram, she jokingly called Aguilera her "mom. " Aguilera, herself a mother of two, appreciates Carpenter's career and wrote a tribute to her when she was honored on the TIME100 Next list. Aguilera praised Carpenter's talent and charisma, noting that she handles her career with ease and charm.

Aguilera sees a lot of herself in the younger singer. She was born the same year Aguilera's first album was released. Aguilera feels protective of the new generation of pop stars and believes Carpenter will achieve her future goals with grace and confidence.
